Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

Royal Norwegian Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod is not to compete with any previous packs. It is just my different approach. So before removing/overwriting any of the older stuff, test this one - as you may not like it. 
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
In the game, under a prefix.LFV. * You will find  F-104G / CF-104  that served in the Norwegian Air Force.
* Luftforsvaret
A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire F-104 cockpit is required from the original game. 
Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.
Now mod uses an additional "no-fuel -no-tanks" loadout. Simply, If you want ot fly with a clean wing chose from the loadout dropdown menu option - no tanks. You need this specific weapon in the weapons folder.
I have added some new pilot models, you can switch them easly in data.ini file, if you have such a desire.

All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.  
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Norwegian Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
Historically, the first Norwegian starfighters were RF-104 versions, but without cameras, and during the first IRAN converted to F-104G type. Those airframes were only in a castrated RF configuration for a few months. Additionally, in 1965, three airframes arrived in Norway, but those three were built by Canadair. They were also in F-104G configuration and had all the remarks of F-104G, not CF-104. Also, those three were painted light grey. Not silver aluminium like previous birds. In this mod, I did not play so strictly with history, and all those 19 starfighters are F-104G with one silver paint.
The first CF-104 arrived in Norway in 1973. All were formed in one 334 squadron, and carried a slightly different mission profile than the older F-104G. I could write a little more about history, but probably most of you will never read this or do not care about what I have written here. (which is already proven after my recent uploads) So I will pass...

what is new.
Reworked skins in some areas, reworked a few parts of the model, new seat model, new pilot models, 
Reworked ini files, 
I highly recommend deleting old files and installing new ones. Just in case, this will prevent any frustration.

this is the F-4E cockpit for the F-4E from my F-4E_USAF pack , this cockpit will not work with the TW F-4E at least not without some major rework
i tested this cockpit several times with a new installed F-4E from my pack and everytime it worked perfectly , so there should be no problems with this cockpit , if by any chance you will find an error please let me know
to Install :  just drop the content of this folder in to you F-4E aircraft folder and let overwrite if ask to

Beta version of the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11

This is a Sea Fury add-on for "Strike Fighters: Project 1" and "Wings Over Vietnam". The models included represent an FB.11 as used by the navies of the UK, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands and the denavilised export version, Mk.50, which was externally identical to the FB.11, with the exception of the removal of the tailhook, and was used by Egypt, Cuba, Iraq, Pakistan, and Burma.
 
Included are Gramps's skins for a British FB.11 on HMS Glory and an Australian FB.11 on HMAS Sydney and my skins for a Canadian FB.11 from HMCS Magnificent and an Egyptian and Cuban Mk.50.
 
Thanks to Gramps for his skins and support, Charles for the flight model and cockpit, Wrench for the hanger screen, and Anthony for three-views.

Hi all,
Here are some small changes in the original WOI A-4H skin, to make it look like an early Skyhawk of the 109th squadron.
the fuselage insignia was moved to the rear and a two digit number replaces the usual three digit one, as it appeared during the first years of service (1967-1970 and maybe even later).
All decals are stock decals, so just make sure you have them in your decals folder.

This aircraft depicts a TA-4J of Composite Squadron 8 (VC-8), the Redtails, out of Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, June, 1997. As always, special thanx to Fracture for creating this beautiful aircraft and to Starfighter2 for his help with the making of this skin. Skin is for TA-4J_ADV.
The "Redtails" of Composite Squadron Eight (VC-8) were the last U.S. Navy active duty unit to operate the Skyhawk on a regular basis. Flying the TA-4J out of Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, equipped with special electronics gear, VC-8 Skyhawks provided utility missions in support of fleet operations, close air support training for Marine, Army, and Special Force units, and operated in an adversary role in support of the Tomcat and Hornet RAGs and fleet unit training.
The last USN active duty Skyhawks, flown by this squadron, were retired from active service on 3 May 2003.
Regards, Pappy
